Özet
Objective: The main objective of the study is to identify the valley systems of Ankara city valleys, to explain the landscape change process of these systems and to investigate the possibilities of valleys to improve the ecology of the city within the scope of ecosystem services and green infrastructure approaches. Material and Methods: The study covers the identification of the characteristics of Ankara urban valleys, the analysis of landscape change through Remote Sensing GIS techniques, and the development of a green infrastructure guide for valleys based on the valley attributes obtained. Results: The increase in the urban fabric within the main urban core has put pressure on the valley system, leading to an increase in land value and population pressure. Although urban plans aim for conservation, this aim has not been reflected in practice, resulting in the destruction of the natural quality of the valleys. Conclusion: Ankara's urban valley systems need to be supported with green infrastructure practices to restore their ecological functions. Based on the ecological networking possibilities of the valleys, a green infrastructure guide is proposed. © 2023 The Author(s).
